upgrading my compact tractor

[searcyfarms]

so if LS makes these CNH and FNH tractors, what is the difference in those vs the LS?

Paint?

I loved my GT75 it was built like a tank and VERY reliable but just didn't meet my needs anymore -

it looks like the XR35/40 LS might be the same as the boomer/farmall ?

 

[searcyfarms]

cant find any info on mid mount mowers for them on the site, CRAPPY WEBSITE - dealer locator comes up with dots on united states as well after typing in zip code ugh.....will try later when have better wifi - maybe that is my problem -

Looks like Diamond R Equipment is LS dealer and a Mahindra dealer.

218 LS Tractor XR337-36.2HP | Diamond R Equipment

John Deere, Case Farmall/NH Boomer, LS XR, Massey 1736.

Seems that is your options so far. I looked at Rural King/TYM and Branson - they don't seem to have mmm capability in your preferred size tractor just the sub-compacts.

thanks I just put in a call/left vm to have him contact me regarding their units etc....3037 looks like a possibility for checking against the case ih / boomer - not sure if the ls has a stamped or welded deck ive owned both, stamped seemed to cut a little better but welded seemed more durable - id probably prefer welded/fabricated as my wife/daughter don't watch for posts/trees/concrete steps like I do, they think hey I need to get done so I can go shopping!!!!!

not saying ive never ran into anything just less frequent cause I have to fix what gets broken ;-)

Difference between ls and nh is usually the nh lifts more on the FEL but to a lower height. Also nh usually runs more $$. But their dealer network is larger.

possibly the CNH has a larger deck than the FNH im only seeing 66 on the FNH cant find anything on the CNH or LS deck dimensions for MMMs and none on T-House I can find with decks/dimensions - I would imagine the CNH and FNH would be more $$ but seems like I have 2 LS dealers within reasonable distance as well as CNH and FNH - so far I like what I see vs deere but time will tell

It seems that for the money you are looking to spend you could get a good used tractor and a zero turn mower and have the best of both worlds,
